Kortrijk vs Antwerp: Over 2.5 goals
Both sides sit on an identical 1.35 expected‑goals mark, yet the model nudges the match slightly over the 2.5‑goal line. With a 54.9% chance of both teams finding the net, the goal flood is the most probable outcome.
Kortrijk host Antwerp in the opening round of the Belgian Pro League. Kortrijk’s recent league form offers only a single loss – a 0‑3 defeat to Club Brugge – while Antwerp have collected a draw and a win in their last two outings, signalling a sharper attacking edge.
Lars's Verdict
The model forecasts a 50.6% chance of more than 2.5 goals, bolstered by a high BTTS probability and Antwerp’s recent scoring form.
Show the maths
With Kortrijk averaging 1.35 expected goals and Antwerp averaging 1.35, the model gives a 54.9% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.1% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 2.7 (Kortrijk 1.35 + Antwerp 1.35) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 50.6% chance against 49.4% for Under.
Show the maths
Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Kortrijk at 37.1%, the draw at 25.8%, and Antwerp at 37.1% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-1 at 12.2% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
The Numbers Behind the Headline
Most likely scorelines
Model probabilities are derived from each team's real season goals-for and goals-against averages via a Poisson goal-expectancy model — not a fixed set of narrative numbers.
Form Guide — Last 5
Kortrijk
Kortrijk’s last five league outings include a 0‑3 loss to Club Brugge (A). The side has not scored at home this season, reflected in a home goals‑for average of 0.0, which suggests they will need to break a dry spell and that any goal they do score may come from a set‑piece or counter‑attack, supporting a higher‑scoring match.
Antwerp
Antwerp drew 0‑0 with Genk (A) before beating KVC Westerlo 2‑0 at home (H). The clean sheet against Genk shows defensive solidity, while the 2‑0 win demonstrates they can convert chances efficiently, indicating they are capable of adding at least two goals to the tally.
Head-to-Head
In the five most recent meetings, Antwerp have won four (2‑1, 1‑2, 0‑1, 6‑0) and drawn once 0‑0, underscoring a clear dominance that aligns with the over‑goal outlook.
